Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit
Collabora
Productivity a subsidiary of Collabora focusing on LibreOffice support and
services for whom I work.
Also if you have the time to read this sort of stuff you could enlighten
yourself by going to Unraveling Wittgenstein's net or if
you are feeling objectionable perhaps here. Failing that, there are all manner of interesting things to read on
the LibreOffice Planet news
feed.

Mail chew; discovered a call I was late for, enjoyed that,
COOL community / planning call (minutes).
-
Discovered lateish in the evening, after recording a FOSDEM
talk, and finishing one set of slides that the deadline is extended
a little; good - it did its job.
-
Plugged away all day at admin, shuffled conference talk
schedule and started on slides. Reviewed community patches, and
easy-hacks, filed another Online Easy
Hack.
-
Sync. call with Ash. Worked late on slides.
-
Took N. to have her braces finally removed at Addenbrooks.
Back to mail.
-
Planning call, mail, admin. Minuted All-Saints
on-line PCC meeting in the evening.
-
Played in the band at All Saints, rather reduced & subdued
congregration, H. played the Organ. Pizza lunch, watched "A Knight's
Tale" together.
-
Plugged away at fused-spur / isolators for various
bathroom appliances that had been bundled together in error
with the help of H., N. and E.
-
Up late for LCA speakers tech-check.
-
Persuaded jsdom to size widgets to allow some degree
of interactive rendering and tile requests for nodejs automated
test slaves. Call with Herman.

Managed to get nodejs and jsdom to load and (not) render
COOL's Javascript here & there.

Sales call, partner call, catch-up with Thorsten,
some hacking.

Mail chew, catch-up with Philippe; poked at nodejs.

Started on the mail-backlog, and queue of admin.
Un-blocked our next 6.4 release somehow. Personal admin
too: tax return, insurance claim, builder snagging list
etc.
-
Up late, worship, sermon, rest, out for a walk,
fine food - a relaxing end to a vacation.
-
Finished getting door-bell wired and working. Guerilla
glued things to mirror back to help mount it. Out for a walk as
a family.
-
Worked at door-bell fitting with E. amazing how annoying it
can be to get a bell-wire fitted long after the house is complete -
eventually managed to get it to the right place together. Got fused
spur, and transformer cut in in the evening.
-
Woken by projector arriving; +14hours from the click, wow.
Spent a while measuring the ceiling & eventually got it up and
working - finally, a bright, FullHD projector to replace the 10yr
old failing bulb version.
-
Stayed up late watching movies with the babes, to usher in
the new year, and the second Brexit transition.
-
J. starting to feel unwell, as well as some babes.
Put up paintings for her to prettyify the bedroom. Chased
'Just Projectors' people after some days - pretty hopeless,
cancelled & ordered on Amazon in the end.
